| Paris attacks: 'It's wrong to say attacks nothing to do with Islam' says Culture Secretary Sajid Javid |

| [INDEPENDENT.CO.UK] People who claim that the recent spate of terrorist attacks in France have nothing to do with Islam are both lazy and wrong, the Culture Secretary has said. Sajid Javid, a Muslim, called on Britains Islamic community to contact the police if they suspect someone they know has been radicalised or may be vulnerable to the influence of hate preachers. The people carrying out these acts what we have seen just horrifically this week in Paris, what has happened in London, in Madrid, in Peshawar these people, they call themselves Muslims, he told the BBC on Sunday. The lazy answer I think from people out there would be to say, Look, this has got nothing whatsoever to do with Islam or Muslims, and that should be the end of that part of the debate. He added: It would be wrong, because you cant get away from the fact that these people are using Islam, they are taking a great religion, a very peaceful religion adhered to by more than a billion people around the world, and using it as their tool to carry out their horrible activities. The Conservative MP added that people should report anyone they fear may have been radicalised. It is important for anyone in Britain, whatever background they are from, of any faith or none, if they know anything, if they think someone might be radicalised or is being tempted, they should report that to the authorities without delay, he said. |
